Implements #35. Report: docs/lanes/handle-transfer.md.

Perry's P1 had to leave TLS-upgradable TCP clients on tokio because a turnloop socket owned its descriptor with no way back (socket.upgradeToTLS hands a live stream to rustls mid-stream; PostgreSQL's SSLRequest does this).

API

  • Ownership leaves only through detach, which already cancels in-flight work, waits for the terminal completions the host is owed, and unregisters — so conversion needs no new guarantee.
    • Unix: Detached::into_fd() -> OwnedFd.
    • Windows: into_socket() / into_handle().
  • Loop::raw_transport(handle) -> RawTransport: borrowed and documented as reporting-only (print, compare, getsockname-class), never I/O, close, mode change or re-registration. This is the single stated exception to "no raw fd crosses the Backend boundary".
  • Refusals: WouldBlock (pending operation), InvalidInput (closing, or a timer), NotFound (closed or already handed off).
  • Conversion restores what the backend changed at adoption (Unix flags and termios, Windows console mode); the descriptor is handed over non-blocking, as the loop held it.

Per backend

handoff reporting
epoll / kqueue into_fd Fd
IOCP socket / pipe instance into_socket / into_handle Socket / Handle
IOCP pipe listener, connecting pipe refused by detach (unchanged) Unsupported
WASI 0.2/0.3, web Unsupported (resource handle / host object, not a descriptor) Unsupported

IOCP association, corrected by CI: the association lives on the underlying socket/file object and is permanent and inescapable — WSADuplicateSocketW inherits it, as DuplicateHandle does for a pipe. The first version asserted the opposite; windows-2025 failed it with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER on all three arms (run 34997592013), and the test, rustdoc, DESIGN §5a and BACKEND_REVISION_2 were corrected. Quiescence makes it inert: the host uses synchronous or non-blocking calls, or overlapped calls with OVERLAPPED.hEvent | 1; the route back is from_socket/from_handle + attach.

Tests

  • Post-handoff byte exchange with the loop fully dropped, once through the safe API and once driving the bare descriptor with libc/Winsock, asserting it equals what raw_transport reported.
  • The upgrade scenario end to end (turnloop-tls/tests/upgrade.rs): SSLRequest + S through the loop, detach, convert, drop the loop, then a real rustls handshake on that descriptor with ALPN h2 and HandshakeKind::Full, plus encrypted ping/pong.
  • Listener and accepted-socket handoff; pending-operation refusal (buffer byte-for-byte untouched, exactly one Cancelled, 60 ms of turning with zero completions); double handoff; handoff after close.
  • Windows: association survives a duplicate; a handed-off named pipe driven with a tagged event.
  • Allocation gate: 100 handoff/re-adopt cycles at zero allocations, identity matched each cycle.

Verification

macOS local (workspace tests, cross-clippy for every target, rustdoc, stable, WASI 0.2/0.3, web-under-Node, no-tokio, soak, cargo-deny), all six required modes on the Linux box (413 test groups, 0 failures), and CI run 34999737266 green on every job.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added transport handoff, allowing live Unix and Windows connections to be transferred out of the loop as owned native descriptors.
    • Added reporting of native transport identities for host integrations.
    • Added support for mid-stream TLS upgrades while preserving the active connection.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Added safeguards and clear errors for busy, closing, closed, unsupported, or already-transferred transports.
  • Documentation
    • Documented platform capabilities, Windows IOCP behavior, conversion options, and WASI/web limitations.

A turnloop socket owned its descriptor with no way to get it back, so the
class of socket that might later need a mid-stream TLS upgrade — Node's
socket.upgradeToTLS, PostgreSQL's SSLRequest — could not start on turnloop
at all.

Ownership now leaves through the existing detach: Detached::into_fd on Unix,
Detached::into_socket/into_handle on Windows. detach already proves
quiescence, so the host's guarantee is total, and conversion restores what
the backend changed on adoption before releasing ownership.

Driver::raw_transport reports a live transport's native identity for Node's
socket._handle.fd. It is borrowed and reporting-only; ownership still leaves
only through detach.

WASI 0.2/0.3 and web report Unsupported: their sockets are component-model
resource handles or host objects, not descriptors.
Windows CI refused CreateIoCompletionPort for a WSADuplicateSocketW
duplicate with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER on all three arms. The association
belongs to the underlying socket, not the descriptor, so duplication is no
escape from it, exactly as DuplicateHandle is none for a pipe.

The test now asserts what Windows does, and the rustdoc, DESIGN and the
backend revision record say that a host wanting completion-port-driven I/O
again hands the transport back through attach, whose imported-association
routing exists for this.

Named-pipe users may briefly receive an identity that becomes stale after connection completes. The scope is narrow and the correction is localized.

Reject raw transport reporting while the pipe is connecting. Driver::open creates Open::Pipe resources as Kind::Socket, so Driver::raw_transport reaches the backend before connection completes. The busy path in pipes::open installs a wait handle as Kind::PipeConnecting. Iocp::raw_transport reports that handle, then pipe_connect_step replaces it with the connected pipe. This invalidates the reported identity before the public handle is closed, detached, or dropped. Return Unsupported until the kind is Kind::Pipe.
